I think the post office is "in a mood" lately. Lots of boxes smashed so I guess I'll continue to use the bigger boxes but the shipping is killing me!

BTW, I would like you all to meet "Chopper"

He's a 3 year old Jack Russel Terrier from animal rescue. Full of energy and very playful.

Extremely well mannered and well behaved. Comes when he's called (that's pretty unusual for a JR!), very affectionate and has adjusted beautifully to his new home in less than 48 hours.

He is my absolute shadow never more than a few feet behind me at all times! I have to look behind me if I want to backup.

OK, one bad habit...4:30 A.M is NOT playtime!

Gordie,
Just got mine today, and it and the box are in perfect shape. I imagine it came Saturday, but the office is usually closed on the weekends (except to Sleep Lab patients).
The Patrol ship is finished; need to get on this one and the Dragon Ship and display them together.
Many Thanks! Another fine Roachworks offering indeed!
Allen

Mine will be built. Not sure when, but, eventually! I mean, shoot, I still have the 4x18mm Nike-Herc that needs to be built!

My wife once told me to fill a kit box up with newspaper and scrap wood. Nobody is going to open them anyway.

Got mine today! Looks like a challenging build for me....

Quick question, do I have to supplied the Gun Mounts? I am going to guess so since they are not in the kit... so I should order from Semroc those nose cones?

Thanks
Jeff

Jeff, OK, that's an oops! they should have been in the bag with all the tiny parts.

I'll mail them to you right away.

Sorry

No worries. I would have bought them... if need be! There are all the tubes, and the picks. But alas no gun mounts.

Thanks!

Oh BTW... can I just say that Smokin Duece nose cone is just grand!!! I had no idea how cool that would be! Thanks... I may have to order more and make something like a REAL nike.

Finishing up stuff for NARAM I finally got all the decals on my Guinevere!.

I have Guinevere kits to bring.

I do apologize for the rivets. They are a real PIA to do!

If you tend towards an astigmatism DO NOT do the rivet!

You may go blind!

And, John, there are more than enough rivets on the decal sheet!

Looks great, Gordy!
She is next on my build list; finally have primer on my Super Vega, so it should not be too long!
Looking forward to the build.

Allen

ps: Sure would look good on that tall Tilt-a-Pad!
